In tribute of the pilots who died in the battle, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/strong> intends to build another Antonov An-225 Mriya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report from Interfax Ukraine on May 20, 2022, Zelensky unveiled the plan during an online meeting with Ukrainian students.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mriya was the world’s largest cargo plane, but it was destroyed in fighting at Hostomel airport (HML<\/strong>) in March 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The An-225 was maintained in a hangar at Antonov Airport<\/strong>, which is also known as the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Zelensky, there were plans to build a second Mriya at one point, but Ukraine was unable to raise the requisite $800 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But in this case, it’s not about money; it’s about ambition,” the president said, according to Interfax. <\/p>

“Ukroboronprom, the Antonov crew, <\/strong>approached us. <\/em><\/p>

This is about our country’s reputation and all of the great professional pilots who died in this conflict.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The president praised the airmen who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine. According to the news agency, Zelensky stated, “Building a Mriya for the sake of the memory of heroes is the proper state position.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonov, the aircraft’s builder<\/strong>, has already launched a fundraising campaign to help reconstruct Mriya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonov<\/a> has continued to fly An-124 freighters out of Leipzig Airport<\/strong> in Germany since the invasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the business is striving to restore Hostomel Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
